Sounds simple enough to get into though --  create an icon for it.

Hmmm....  I want my scripts to run and make files to run and be able to
copy or delete or move files from dir to dir to arrange fab files neatly,
deal with different fabs, and clean and tidy up.

This is a make file snippet I'd like to have workable:

G=tek_7k_flex
T=TEK_7K_FLEX-3
F=fab1.com
fab1:
	if test -d $F; then rm -f $F/*; else mkdir $F; fi
	pcb -x gerber --all-layers $G.pcb
	cp $G.outline.gbr $F/$T.outline
	cp $G.topsilk.gbr $F/$T.top-silk
	cp $G.topmask.gbr $F/$T.top-soldermask
	cp $G.top.gbr $F/$T.top
	cp $G.group2.gbr $F/$T.gr2
	cp $G.group3.gbr $F/$T.gr3
	cp $G.group5.gbr $F/$T.gr5
	cp $G.bottom.gbr $F/$T.bot
	cp $G.bottommask.gbr $F/$T.bot-soldermask
	cp $G.bottomsilk.gbr $F/$T.bot-silk
	cp $G.plated-drill.cnc $F/$T.plated.cnc
	cp $G.fab.gbr $F/$T.fab.gbr
	cp $G.bottompaste.gbr $F/$T.bot-paste
	cp $G.toppaste.gbr $F/$T.top-paste
	-rm -f $F/*.zip
	cd $F; rm *.gr3 *.gr2; zip -9 $T.zip $T.[a-y]*

Does use of commands
test -d
cp
rm
imply a need for msys?
